Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by diminished endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function and flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), is a clinically significant feature of heart failure (HF). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have pro-angiogenic properties, the potential to restore function. Accordingly, we tested hypothesis that MSCs increase EPC (FMD).Idiopathic dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy patients were randomly assigned receive autologous (n = 7) or allogeneic 15) MSCs. We...
Background —Vascular nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability is reduced in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated whether oral l -arginine, the substrate for NO synthesis, improves homeostatic functions of vascular endothelium maintained on appropriate medical therapy and thus might be useful as adjunctive therapy. Methods Results —Thirty CAD (29 men; age, 67±8 years) management were randomly assigned to -arginine (9 g) or placebo daily 1 month, crossover alternate after...
Recent reports of myocardial infarction in young persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are receiving protease inhibitor therapy have raised concerns about premature coronary artery disease this population. However, endothelial dysfunction, hypercoagulability, hypertriglyceridemia, and abnormal pathology been observed association HIV infection prior to the availability therapy.The study was undertaken determine between function, viral load, CD4+ count, other...
Water loss and water recycling in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) is a major issue. As result of electro-osmotic drag, accumulates at the cathode hydraulic pressure builds up. The rate permeation under was measured for several nanoporous proton-conducting membranes (NP-PCMs) Nafion 117. Water-permeation NP-PCM up to 18 times that With use liquid-water barrier layer, can be minimized this lead water-neutral operation conditions. In such case weight, volume, complexity DMFC system would...
It is difficult to locate sources of acute hemorrhage in the colon. Angiography has hitherto been leading diagnostic method, providing positive results about 60% cases. With coloscopy 17 out 18 suspected cases from colon source bleeding could either be accurately located (15 cases) or excluded (2 cases). In only one case, when was associated with diverticular disease, diverticulum not identified. Endoscopy provides a method locating but also nature this and thus helps decide type treatment....
Background: The Mediterranean diet is rich in lycopene and has been reported to reduce cardiovascular events. mechanism of prevention events not clearly established. Our aim was study the effects a tomatoes-rich on markers vascular inflammation.
 
 Methods: Plasma concentrations E-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were determined by ELISA 103 apparently healthy volunteers. Volunteers randomly assigned two groups: 50...
An assay proposed to quantify endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) colonies in humans was investigated determine the phenotype of recovered cells and their relevance vivo function.Twelve sedentary subjects participating a worksite wellness program underwent flow-mediated dilation (FMD) testing brachial artery blood sampling for EPC colony assay. Microarray-based genotypic characterization showed surface markers consistent with T lymphocyte phenotype, but not an (CD34, CD133, VEGFR-2) or (CD146)...
